Datacolor Weigh interactively guides the drugroom operator through the entire weighing process, ensuring that the correct dyes and chemicals are weighed accurately. Automated data exchange with Datacolor PROCESS or Datacolor TICKET along with interactive graphics virtually eliminate dye weighing errors, minimizing costly dyelot rework.
Datacolor WEIGH controls up to three connected scales for accurate weighing of dyes and auxiliaries. Seamless transfer of dyelot ingredients and product amounts from Datacolor PROCESS or Datacolor TICKET increases throughput and ensures accurate results.
Tolerance bands are displayed during product weighing to guarantee accuracy. Operators receive clear weighing instructions for cup size, scale selection, and for using full packages of a specific product. Stock control prevents weighing when product availability is low.
Simple user interface and high-visibility display with large, easy-to-use function buttons, is readable from as far as two meters. Weighing progress is clearly displayed on the job status screen. Automatic selection of the next scheduled job is possible. Jobs can be stopped and easily restarted later without loss of information for products that have already been weighed.
When a new lot of a product is required, the target weight in active jobs is recalculated based upon delivery strength. Configurable safety instructions, both visual and audible, alert the operator regarding product hazards. Multiple user profiles support weighing from numerous workstations, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in the drugroom.
Datacolor Tools is an easy-to-use color quality control application for industries where color accuracy is a critical component of overall product quality. Analyze, report, communicate, and visualize accurate color results. Objective pass/fail tolerances and color differences ensure consistent color quality and improved throughput.
Datacolor Tools – Evaluate color quality using a range of color difference formulas, graphics, and indices from CIE, TAPPI, ISO, and more.
Datacolor Sort – Advanced shade sorting, clustering, and tapering to manage roll-to-roll color variation in the entire manufacturing process.
Datacolor Monitor – Measure and report on side-center-side color variation to assure end-to-end color quality.
Work the way you want by displaying plots and data grids in panels that you can modify – without custom programming. Store all of your data in a robust database, then retrieve and manage samples as needed to an intuitive desktop explorer. Add your most frequently used functions to the ribbon bar to increase efficiency.
Customize settings, templates, and access rights based on the needs of individual users.
Using monitor calibration with the Datacolor Spyder5, spectral color can be displayed on textured substrates to achieve the highest level of accuracy in visual on-screen assessment. Judge the appearance of a single spectral color on multiple substrates under multiple illuminants. Evaluate metamerism easily and perform color approvals on-screen, reducing the need for physical samples.
It means unlimited flexibility in defining, selecting, and working with color quality control tolerances.
Unique tolerance blocks can be established and then linked automatically into the color QC workflow.
Multiple tolerances such as CMC and Whiteness Index can even be combined. This allows to view multiple pass/fail criteria in a single data grid.
The interactive graphics module enables simple, efficient, and detailed data analysis. Users can view data graphically against the correct tolerances without searching through menus. Each graph type is interactive, allowing the user to change data points, illuminants, zoom, orientation, and 2D or 3D views. Instantly evaluate color inconstancy in multiple illuminants with the unique multi-illuminant plot.
Employing the valuable knowledge of the experts in your company, Datacolor Process helps you manage dye recipes and production dyeing procedures. Process parameters and auxiliary quantities are automatically adjusted based on dye quantity, customer, fabric, dye machine, and performance requirements to achieve an optimized dyeing procedure.
Datacolor Process – Produces the most accurate and efficient production dyeing procedure through rules-based calculations for complex dyeing processes.
Datacolor Ticket – Simple dyelot tickets are produced to ensure accuracy in production dyeing.
Datacolor Process automatically generates the best production recipe and dyeing procedure for any color based on relevant dyeing requirements. Rules based on liquor ratio, customer, fabric, dye machine, and dyestuff quantity automatically adjust dyeing parameters and chemical amounts to eliminate dyeing errors. Temperature ramp rate and dyeing time are optimized to ensure the most efficient dyeing cycle.
Dyelot history and quality analysis enable proactive recipe correction to reduce dye adds. Instantly review results for previous dyelots, including all colorimetric data to identify potential production issues before costly mistakes occur. If a dyelot is off shade, connect to Datacolor MATCH TEXTILE to generate the most accurate and cost-effective correction to get the dyelot back on shade.
Datacolor PROCESS supports exhaust and continuous dyeing on any fiber type. Configure dye machines with min/max control of machine capacity, liquor ratio and pickup. Generate simple production recipes or a complete production process including recipe and process costs. Optional inventory control ensures product availability, while dyelot scheduling guarantees the most efficient use of available equipment.
Datacolor Process works seemlessly with Datacolor Match Textile and Datacolor Weigh to manage the entire textile dyeing process from lab to production. Designed to link with dye machine supervisor and ERP systems, customized integration modules ensure that dye and chemical quantities and process parameters are passed between systems without the need for manual re-entry of data.
